Home > Where to Go > Regions > Edinburgh > Great Attractions

Edinburgh
No other city in Britain has so many great attractions so easily accessible. Scotland's premier castle, major museums and galleries and royal palace, garden and yacht, and many historical buildings are all within a mile of each other.



Capital Castle
An icon of Scotland, Edinburgh Castle dominates the city-centre skyline – it's a 'must-see' for every visitor.



Museums & Galleries
Simply the finest museums and galleries – from Edinburgh's local history to Scotland's story; from Old Masters to Modern Art.

Royal Residences
As the capital, Edinburgh has plenty of royal connections, including the Palace of Holyrood House and, more recently, the former Royal Yacht Britannia.



Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
The word's largest rhododendron collection, large areas under glass, a magnificent rock garden, a showcase Chinese hillside and lots more – another 'must see' for everyone.
